For 15 years, Annie's List has helped prepare progressive women to run for office. This year, of the 65 Democratic women will be on the ballot for the Texas Legislature, 85% have been trained or supported by Annie’s List!

We provide a suite of trainings with the goal of getting more progressive women elected to office. No matter your experience in politics, Annie's List has a program that meets you where you are and takes you from there. We offer college internships, introductory training sessions with local legislators, intensive sessions for the woman ready to run and a program for those interested in becoming a campaign staffer. Annie’s List wants to help you become the leader your community needs!!
